I mean that's possible; with conscription.

There are plenty of nations like that, though most of the ones I've encountered are in closed RP regions because those standards are more universally enforced than in open-world RPs.

With active personnel though?

I mean North Korea's active personnel is about 5% of their total population and they ain't doing too hot economy-wise, I'd imagine 10% would be even worse.

On an MT scale, not really. But they still pop up every once-in-awhile with nations that claim their conscription/militaristic culture means 30-50% of their population can be in the army at any given time.

And of course, every single one of these soldiers will see combat and will fight to the very end because it's not like the majority of military personnel are logistics and supplies.

It's like powerwankers take one look at the "Asiatic Horde" myth and say "mmm, yes, this tactic will go great to display my military strength!"

Sure, you have a lot of soldiers, but any industrial nation will almost always have more bullets.

AFAIK, nope. Just so long as you are posting things relevant (or are not spamming posts every minute, which case editing should work), double-posting seems okay.

/ But not a mod. But then again, F7 is the only place with no double-posting rules.

Summer is civil war season in II. And that's not weird when you think about it because unstable places going through civil conflict like Afghanistan and Syria tend to have bigger flare ups in fighting during the summer months.

Unpopular opinion: NSG threads shouldn’t appear on the sidebar, because by nature they get posted on the most, which buries RP threads and storefronts people may have put hours of effort into because of argument #3904812093801 on communism vs. capitalism

That…eh, it’s likely I guess since summer is just mind-boggling hot at times and people go nuts when it is mine-boggling hot.
